Nong Min Chinese School 农民公学 (Former)

After the Japanese surrender, many warm-hearted villagers living in the Jalan Tiga Ratus Village came together to set up the Nong Min Chinese School in 1946. Amidst the rubber and coconut plantations, the school was housed in an old Japanese barrack and catered to the children of the farmers and villagers living around the Upper Changi Road area. As the village around the Upper Changi area was resettled in the 1970s, the school closed in 1977.
